WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Tool 2 Use-Emotional Management.  Within high stress situations, emotions can make or break us. So we want to have love, passion, and joy in competing! If you’re afraid of looking bad, all of the sudden the joy dissipates.

  2. Don’t stack your rest and recovery day with all the things you were trying to get done throughout the week. It’s important to figure out your 10s and do them on those rest days. If we hold the mindset that we don’t have the choice and that we’re being forced- it’s sucking the energy and joy out of it. Find joy= find love.

  3. Thinking of how you need a person to be happy, or you’ll be happy in this one location, you become somewhat powerless. So how can you B4U and take what you’ve learned to empower yourself wherever you go? Look at the aspect rather than the activity. When something really resonates with your heart, break it down to its aspects because you can look for those things wherever and whenever.

WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Learn How 2 Devote yourself to something meaningful- Achieve something important beyond material success. Ask questions like, What’s in your spirit? What’s in your heart? What are your deepest passions? Get a clear idea on these things.

  2. How 2 Use Love in a way of opening your heart but remaining authentic. You can’t have a divided heart, learning there’s no fear in love. Fear is a self centered thing and love is focused on others. You’re either walking in self protection or self expression and an ‘I need vs. what can I give?’ motive.

  3. There’s 4 goals of inner excellence- Give 100% of what you have that day, be present, be grateful, and focus on what you can control. It is a daily pursuit, recognize the difficulties and Find Ways 2 Remind yourself of these motives. Phone alerts? Sticky notes? Something to Set Yourself up 4 Success.

WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. The change 2 make is recognizing and allowing yourself to feel some humiliation in the moment. It might switch the anxiety off, then you can laugh about it and decide How 2 Move forward from a different space. So smile 4 Your Wellbeing, it relaxes almost every muscle in the body. 

  2. Pressure can come from within. Choose 2 Be Grounded in who you are and be honest. It’s all about perspective. Be deliberate, if you create too much pressure you’ll lose that passion and it will show in the work you do.
